Harry wanted to get the family out of the house to distract them from this chaos going on. They went to muggle zoo and wanted to see if he and Albus could talk to the snakes if they had heard anything along the walls or if they had news.
Thanks to some undercover zookeepers, Harry knew there were Death Eaters using snakes to sneak through the forests and halls of Hogwarts and other great Wizarding schools around the world. Two of them were Durmstrang Institute where they met.
"Potter! Over here!" One of them called out and smiled. Albus raised a brow "You're.. you're one of his teammates." He stuttered at first smiling being a fan of the Triwizard stories.
"You must be Albus.. I hear from your father you have questions of the snake tongue?"
Albus nodded and they all walked toward the snakes inside the glass.
"Close the doors for now, we need space." The zookeeper asked security who nodded and closed off the reptile room. "Now.. Albus. There are many things you already know about snakes. What they hunt, what they do to protect your gardens.. but did you all know all have a heart for us wizard kind?" He asked and Albus shook his head, making him chuckle and look at the glass. He tapped on it and spoke in Posseltongue.
A snake like Nagini slithered out and Albus smiled biting his lip.
"Harry.. does she look familiar?" He asked Harry who raised a brow and walked up to the glass looking at the sign at her name, but smiled.
He spoke in Posseltongue "you're safe.. good. I hope we didn't scare your mother." Harry spoke fluently and Albus smiled watching his father.
"The boy.. is he yours?" She slithered in return and Harry nodded "Have you heard anything recently from any dark wizard? I know you watch them and know their aura.. do you have news?" Harry asked and the snake shook her head but didn't go far. She slithered around the tree. Harry opened the glass with magic for a moment and walked into the inner.
"Dad! What are you—" Albus was stopped as she showed him a mark on the tree with the dark mark
"He was here.. Voldemort took my children and used them for your school.. to spy."  She hissed and Harry backed up. "Damn it.. they're everywhere then.. thank you. I will ask the zookeepers to bring you extra mice tomorrow for lunch." He smiled and walked out of the case, the glass closing behind him.
"What did she say?" Albus asked looking at Harry who shook his head "there are snakes within the walls  of Hogwarts and every  wizard school spying on all of us. They are spreading word of everything seen and heard." He growled and looked at the zookeeper friend "You knew about this?" He asked and the friend nodded "I've done my part and collected almost half of those spy snakes. I got answers of where those death eaters are but it's not an easy place to get into unless you have His mark."
Harry signed and leaned against the glass biting his lip and looked at the ceiling. He raised a brow at the security cameras.
"How many cameras are in this building?" Harry asked.
"Six.. why?" The friend asked and they both went to the office and looked at the cameras. Albus sat down and went through the time chart on the cameras. Yes, he did his own studies on muggle technology when no one was looking.
"What time do the snake breeders come in?" Albus asked and looked at the keeper "They come in about midnight till 2am, that's when things are cleaned up and animals are fed along with any dead creatures are taken out. What are you thinking?" He asked and Albus scrolled through the computer and pointed at a face.

"There.. look at his arm." He zoomed into the man and Harry raised a brow. "Crabbe?" He growled and Albus shook his head "he promised he wouldn't do this.. why now?"
The friend smirked and turned around grabbing his wand. Right when he turned around, Harry had his own wand aimed at his neck. "I don't think so... call off your guards or you'll become snake feed." He growled and Albus rolled his eyes. The friend hissed and nodded speaking Posseltongue telling the death eaters to leave them alone and let them leave.
"Be grateful I'm not the enemy Potter, I'm just doing it for the money.  You know my girls are wanting into that school of yours and they need protection.." he was scared but Harry sighed and let down his wand. "You couldn't be honest with me? You know our family would help you or any death eater who didn't want in this stupid war.." he grabbed the man's arm and the man had tears down his face "I didn't have a choice.. it's join them or they kill my girls. I can't do this to them.. help me get them out and I'm on your side. I promise."
Albus looked at Harry who put his wand away, signing "Take him to the farm. Tell Draco to burn the mark off his arm.." he looked at Albus. "Do you understand? You're doing your part right now. I will join you soon. I'm going to take this snake and others and free them."
Albus nodded and linked his hand to the man's, leaving for the Weasley farm.
"I'm going to regret this.." Harry said and signed closing his eyes putting the snakes in the one of Forbidden Forest caverns  where they couldn't be found but had plenty of rats and mice to hunt.
Harry put his invisibility cloak and left quickly out the doors as they were slammed open. The death eaters spoke in their tongue and went after Harry who they thought was in the office.
